Two Miles Up

We've reached part three of our Colorado run, and this week it's Breckenridge Bourbon, the bottle sitting on every liquor store shelf around here. We get into the founder's story, a radiologist pulling brutal hours who was standing knee-deep in snowmelt one day and walked away convinced he should bet his house, his savings, and a chunk of his kids' college fund on a whiskey hunch. We talk about what happens to a barrel aged nearly two miles up in the Rockies, why the angels take such a big cut at that altitude, and how that shapes what lands in your glass. There's a heavyweight announcement out of Tennessee that dropped the morning we recorded, a t-shirt that almost got thrown out of a church, and a question we kept circling back to: what does this whiskey taste like before anyone blends it?
